new chicks!!!

This forum made me do it - I am very happy with my 10 mixed-breed hens - they give me plenty of eggs, and make me happy - but NOOOOOOOOOOOO after I joined this forum I had to have more. So today I picked up my 25 new chicks ordered from McMurray (3 were dead in the box but the rest seem to be doing ok) - they are so CUTE!!! But now I'm frustrated - I can't find a copy of my order, and I want to know which chicks are what kinds!!! How can I tell???? I know I ordered several different breeds, mostly hens and a few roosters. I really would like to know which chicks are what breeds - is there somewhere that has pictures of chicks and their color/markings?

Try going to feathersite.com, to the chicken area. They have lots of pictures of adults and chicks. Also, you can post pics on here (I think it's a requirement to post pics of new chicks) so some of us can help identify them.

I can relate. I only had a desire for a few birds some 3 years ago so my dh said "do your homework." So I did, found BYC, and now, some 40 something birds later.........Yep, we're instigators and addicts ourselves......

Got the chicks yesterday - three were dead in the box when I opened it - the rest seemed to be fine - last night I made sure each and every one had a drink of water (they had been drinking but I made sure they got more just in case) and gave them all a dropper of liquid boost/antibiotics - some of them were a little quiet and only a few were interested in eating. This morning 4 more chicks were dead
Is it normal to lose 7 chicks (or more?) when getting a shipment? And I still don't know what kinds they are - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
